HARLINGEN – Valley Baptist Medical Center-Harlingen received an “A” rating in The Leapfrog Group’s Spring 2019 Safety Score, demonstrating the hospital’s commitment to delivering safe, high-quality patient care.

The Leapfrog Group Hospital Safety Score is a rating system designed to give consumers information they can use to make healthcare decisions for themselves or a loved one. The Leapfrog Group assigns A, B, C, D, and F grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals based on their ability to prevent errors, injuries, accidents, and infections.

“Recognition of this sort does not happen by chance,” said Manny Vela, CEO of Valley Baptist Medical Center-Harlingen and Valley Baptist Health System. “It is possible only through the dedication and tireless work of our physicians, nurses, and ancillary staff who treat our patients as though they were family.”
